Shenvalee Golf Resort - Olde/Creek

friendly staff, course in excellent condition, challenging layout best value and experience in the valley

Shenvalee Golf Resort is a diamond in the rough course set about 20 minutes outside of Harrisonburg (James Madison University) near Endless Caverns. The price per round was actually for 3 people to ride. This course features 3 separate 9-hole courses. Each more difficult than the other. Some offering unique challenges, and the opportunity to take advantage of the long ball, yet holes that can up your score if you're not careful. The rough can be unforgiving if you are not careful to keep track of your ball. Otherwise, this course was not only worth the price but keeps me wanting to play and come back. A public course with a member feel.

I love the setting against the mountain. Beautiful views and fun course to play.

One of our favorite places to play! All the courses are beautiful, and very well kept. We had a cart that had issues, but other than that, it was a perfect day! Anyone from out of town should definitely go there. You won't be sorry!

I would add pictures, but they aren't as good as the clubs pictures. But pictures don't do it justice.

Absolute steal at $10, had no one in front of me, played first nine in an hour. Course was is in really good shape for end of season. Greens were well maintained. Definitely going back as long as weather holds out.

I played this course on my way down to Wintergreen Resort, and met some friends down here en route. Was a fun course to play that was not terribly long, but you had to hit the ball in the correct spots. The greens had been recently punched (maybe a week or so prior), but they were still rolling very well. We played Olde/Creek, and it was a fairly challenging round. Driver is not necessary on a number of holes, and so it really makes you think about what shot to play. Otherwise, it was a fun round even though it rained for a couple holes! Only paid $10, and so it was well worth it!

The course has 3 different 9 hole courses. We played the Olde and Miller courses. The Olde course is hilly and compact with small raised greens. The Miller course is more hilly and spread out.

The greens and fairways are in great condition but the tees are poor. Most greens are small. Because of the hills some shots are blind.

Enjoyable course in beautifull surroundings.

Good value when booked as "hot deal" on Golfnow. Olde course has elevated greens (1to2feet above fairways) requiring decisions about putting or chipping from close to the green. I and most of my friends prefer playing the other tw nines, Miller and Creek.

Course was in great condition. Play was a little slow but over all a great day.

You need to play here. Course was in great condition and the greens were excellent.Staff were very helpful and welcome me to the course.The ranger even came around to offer us COLD bottle water during our round. Boy was I glad to see him! With the Golfnow Hot deal you can,t go wrong.

I used to live in Harrisonburg and have since moved to Charlottesville. I still come back to play Shenvalee. The course quality for the price is unbeatable. Most of the times I have played, the course is in great condition. Very rarely do I feel like I am waiting on groups ahead of me or being pushed by those behind me. My one piece of advice on hotter days, anytime you see the water jugs, go ahead and fill up even if you aren't empty. The jugs are few and far between.

Great course!

The only reason I did not give Shenvalee an EXCELLENT overall rating is the pace of play. We played as a twosome, and came upon a foursome on the third hole. We waited hole after hole for the slower group to let us play through, but to no avail. After the ninth hole we asked the starter to reassign our next nine due to the slow play, which he gladly accommodated. We asked the starter about golf etiquette at Shenvalee, and was told the players are suppose to know this, but to my knowledge nothing was said to the foursome. I hope the resort starts re-enforcing this message to all groups as they start their rounds, just as a friendly reminder, and to help all golfers enjoy their rounds.

Great course layout except the holes i bogied.

I have always enjoyed playing shenvalee, golf course. It's a nice short course that challenges the long ball hitter.

Very nice golf course and the mountain views were amazing. Course was in great shape for this time of year and with Golf Now, we got an amazing deal on the green fees. I would recommend giving this course a try. Fairways are in great shape. Green running a lil slow, but this time of year it is expected. All and All a nice course and with the Golf Now price ... A Great Deal ... Give this course a go, views alone are worth the green fees.
